| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Historical sketches of the south" by Emma Langdon Roche is a historical account written in the early 20th century. It traces the origins, laws, and persistence of American slavery, then narrows to a vivid, documentarian chronicle of the last known slave ship, the Clotilde, and the Africans (the Tarkars) brought to Alabama. Blending broad history with eyewitness testimony and the author’s own illustrations, it focuses especially on Mobile, the illegal trade’s networks, and the formation of a distinct African community. The opening of the work surveys how contrasting colonial cultures in Virginia and New England shaped attitudes toward slavery, outlines the rise of the tobacco economy and the 1619 arrival of enslaved Africans, and follows early Southern-led efforts (notably Jefferson’s) to restrict the trade amid Northern commercial complicity. It then details how illegal trafficking flourished despite the 1808 ban, covering diplomatic clashes with Britain, the Ashburton Treaty patrols, and notorious cases like the Wanderer and Echo. The narrative shifts to Mobile in 1858–1859—amid filibuster tensions and local defiance—where river-man Tim Meaher and Captain William Foster send the schooner Clotilde to Dahomey; it recounts the Dahomean raid on the Tarkars, their laws and customs, their sale at Whydah, and the harsh but comparatively less brutal “middle passage” under Foster. Finally, it describes the clandestine night tow up Mobile Bay, the burning and scuttling of the Clotilde, and the secret removal of 116 captives to a canebrake plantation, where they were hidden in whispered silence—marking only the beginning of their story.
